I just heard on the news that Oregon is the second largest producer of craft beer in the United States. July is Beer Month.

Link?

Wiki still has us at 4th: Oregon breweries - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
though that info is apparently over 3 years old now: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Craft_Breweries_Per_Capita_%28US%29.png

Looks as if we be heading for numero uno. Some outstanding crafters here, for sure.

The hush-hush word around town in Bend is that now that our newest brewery has opened (Good Life) and once 10 Barrel is finished expanding their capacity, we'll be the most micro brewed town per capita in the world.

No idea if there's truth to that, but now that I think of it, I've only heard it from people that'd make something like that up to sound cool.

Good article on Central Oregon's brewery expansions: http://www.tsweekly.com/news/feature...et-tapped.html

Brewery Expansion Plans and Completions From Fall 2010 to Jan. 1, 2012

Deschutes Brewery will add new fermentation tanks and is required to upgrade portions of the sewer system on the westside to accommodate the new capacity. Brewmaster Larry Sidor said this would allow the brewery to add roughly another 100,000 barrels to current production levels of about 200,000 barrels per year.

10 Barrel Brewing Company will move into a new brewhouse on Empire Avenue and 18th Street with a 50-barrel system. The brewery will cease production at its current location and move the 10-barrel system to the new location for small batch brews. (The small batch production that will be headed up by Tonya Cornett of BBC who will split her time between the two breweries.) As a result, 10 Barrel’s capacity will jump from roughly 2,700 barrels to about 15,000 barrels per year. The company hopes to be brewing in the new brewhouse by Jan. 1.

Noble Brewing Company is currently under construction on SW Commerce Avenue attached to the new Century Center. The brewery, Bend’s newest, will hold a 50-barrel brewery and, like 10 Barrel Brewing Company, could brew a minimum of somewhere around 15,000 barrels per year.

Cascade Lakes Brewing Company recently replaced 17-year-old equipment at its Redmond brewery with newer, larger pieces, including all new malt handling equipment. This will help up capacity to 8,000 barrels per year from current levels, said owner Chris Justema. The brewery has also added sales reps in Portland and Boise, broadening the company’s reach outside of Central Oregon.

Old Mill Brew Werks will move into 10 Barrel’s current location after that brewery moves to its larger space sometime this fall, said owner Dave Love. Silver Moon Brewing currently brews about 150 barrels per year for Brew Werks, but that will end when Love installs a seven-barrel system at the new location. Love expects to brew 450 barrels the first year there, part of that amount will be beers crafted by area homebrewers on Brew Werks’ system and sold in the Brew Werks restaurant.

Boneyard Beer celebrated its one-year birthday in April after brewing 1,300 barrels in its rookie campaign. New fermenters will be added in the next month or so, which brewer Tony Lawrence expects will help the brewery hit about 4,500 barrels this year. The brewery has already purchased canning equipment and could be the first to get its ale in a can.

Three Creeks Brewing in Sisters recently added new equipment allowing the brewery to brew more efficiently and more quickly. The company was also granted a license for a second location that will serve purely as a storage facility and allow the brewery to work with more barrel-aged beers, said owner Wade Underwood.

I love our local craft beers. I don't know how people still drink Bud. Apparently we need to start drinking more to capture that #1 spot.
